Beyond the different backgrounds of the authors (one, a north-American psychologist who travelled around the world to study myths, popular religions and alchemical traditions before settling in Hong Kong, the other young Chinese historian, studying the history of tourism and heritage of Macau), we find the same old concern. There is a need to appeal to some regulatory role of history through selection, classification, analysis and synthesis, in order to understand the present and to lessen the tensions felt by individuals, communities and societies in relation to changes of any sort, even economic, urbanistic or political.
